City & Country: Tanjung Penaga Boutique Hotel

The five terraced houses in Lebuh Clarke were done up as individual units for those who want the experience of staying in traditional terrace with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a balcony upstairs, and a large living room and garden downstairs. This part of the hotel will also welcome pets, something quite rare in Malaysia.

- The four shophouses in Transfer Road have had a floor added to make them three storeys. The ground floor serves as a shop in the front and a spa at the back, which opens from the laneway garden. Staircases lead to the first and second floors that accommodate eight suites of sitting room, bathroom, bedroom and balcony.

- The six shophouses in Hutton Lane have had two floors added, and a lift will be installed with disabled access provided. The ground floor will have the reception area, bar, air-conditioned restaurant and verandah restaurant, as well as kitchen, back-of-house requirements and offices. The lap pool will sit adjacent to the rear verandah. The three floors above accommodate 32 bed-cum-sitting rooms, each at least 40 sq m in size and a generous bathroom. Those at the rear have balconies, while some at the front have outdoor decks. All rooms have Jacuzzis and will meet five-star standards.
